Comprehensive and Portable

The Virtual Art Academy® Reference Library is a comprehensive and portable recourse on how to paint.

The result of a fifteen year research project by professional artist Barry John Raybould, the Virtual Art Academy® Reference Library contains 48 eBooks with information on how to paint in oils, acrylics, and watercolors that you will not find anywhere else.

Other how to paint eBooks are often just video scripts in PDF form. When you need an answer to your questions on painting techniques, you have to search hours of video transcripts. Traditional art how to books are just as difficult to search.

Our Reference Library was designed in a completely different and unique way that helps you find the information you need instantly.

Each eBook has been professionally written using an approach called Information Mapping®. Complex principles and procedures are explained clearly and simply with lots of pictures and examples to help you learn faster.
